Is ETH not yet booming? Old hands: The real altcoin season is usually crazier than you think

Recently, many people have started asking: "Is the altcoin season here?"
The answer is harsh: it might just be warming up.
A classic feature of the real altcoin season — BTC slowly rises, ETH catches up, and small to mid-cap coins suddenly double in a day.
Now you’ll notice: BTC has stabilized above $80k again, but ETH is still hovering around 2,400.
This indicates the market has not entered the final crazy phase.
Historically, in each super altcoin season, ETH first becomes a “liquidity black hole.”
When ETH starts to surge, funds will flood into various meme coins.
Right now, the most worth paying attention to is not “the ones that have risen the most,” but “those that haven’t risen much yet but are quietly attracting funds.”
A few directions I’ve been watching recently:
PayFi: The biggest dark horse this round. Stablecoin payments are increasingly resembling real-world Alipay.
GameFi: Many think it’s dead, but in a bull market, the coins that double most easily are always gaming tokens.
AI Agent: AI robots + on-chain execution could become a new hot spot.
Old chain ecosystems: SOL, SUI, TON ecosystems are clearly starting to warm up.
The funniest thing is, many people are shouting “The bull market is coming” while only holding 10% of their positions.
The real market always emerges from doubt.
My approach is simple:
Don’t chase already surging MEME tokens, focus on coins that have just broken the weekly chart.
Because buying after a big surge makes you the bagholder; entering at the start makes you the market maker.
One last reminder:
The most dangerous thing in altcoin season isn’t the decline, but watching others get rich while you sell too early. #山寨币资金回流
